This is a very peculiar case tho. Can you imagine outsourcing a game like Uncharted or Last of Us to fans? lol
Like, Epic knows there's a lot of people out there (like mapcoreans) that are dying for the comeback of the next Quake / UT / CS game, if that means we have to do it ourselves, and have fun in the process, then be it.

Never used this thing before.
This is pretty interesting. Basically they are taking valve's TF2 hats stuff and trying to push it even harder. I'm much more interested now than I was before (what can I say? I'm a quake fanboy).
Also thank you mapcore for proving that I'm not crazy. People tell me that all the time when I say I can feel input lag.
Now that's some progressive thinking by Epic. No need for a viable market and no need for big budgets. It's brilliant. They put a small and affordable team on it, build it with community help and make money of the marketplace. It's low risk, transparent, cost efficient, good advertisement and fan service. What's there to hate? This is a good time for people to seriously consider moving to UE4.
Hats off Epic, hats off.
There is only one problem with this idea that will take some careful consideration. Too many chefs in the kitchen is a big problem here. There does need to be a centralized decision making entity who does make tough choices that not everyone is going to like. This level of transparency does potentially mean that every little thing the lead designer does will be met with tons of complaining at every step of the way to the likes that we have yet to witness.
edit: Anyway, with that said I will begin planning out a map design for UT4. For now I will use the FPS game base and my understandings about how UT3 plays to plan out a basic map. Its been a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong time since I considered making a FFA level lol.
I just hope the game doesn't suck. UT2kx series and UT3 were straight-up badly designed arena shooters.
but the game is already done, it's called UT99 .. now just to copy it over to ue4
isn't this what fans have always wanted?
Our predictions turned out to be spot on :]
THAT LOOKS SO SHIT OMG WTF WHERE ARE THE TEXTURES ON THE WALLS WTF ARE THESE GUYS DO- yeah cool to see early progress. Everyone loves the shock rifle. Anyone for insta gib? 
Oh man I wanna make a UT map now 
I miss instagib
monsterkill. will they feature monsterkill sounds?
also will the feature capture the flag mode
will they feature that nuke weapon too?
Hot. So hot.
I really like them for sharing the development progress It's always nice to see WIP stuff.
Brought it back to the new page to save you all some clicking. Yeah I know, I'm a nice guy!
Some pre-alpha footage here:
but but but thats just ut3 ?!
( i know whats going on here i just think its pointless to show this off with the old placeholder assets )
I dunno, I think it's good we're seeing the game in such an early stage. They're not so much showing it off but giving people progress updates each week and allowing fans to share feedback/thoughts to hopefully create a better game.
Anyway, I think that video was made by Fatality himself rather than Epic releasing it. You can download the current version from Github if you have a subscription to UE4.
Besides they have shown off some sexy stuff too
